A patio table adds sophistication and charm to any outdoor space. It anchors the seating elements and provides a surface for food, drinks, and plants. Designed with simplicity and elegance in mind, this table features a strong, sleek base with cladding that waterfalls from the top down two sides.

Using 4x4s as legs, 2x4s for structure, and 1x4s for cladding, this project takes shape in just a few simple steps. When the leg assemblies are completed, the support structure is secured to create the table's skeleton. From there, it's just a matter of attaching the slats that waterfall over three faces.

After a light sanding and a waterproof finish is applied, you and your family will be set to enjoy some R&R.
